[GreenKeys] A momentous day

[Jones, Douglas W]

The restoration project of PDP-8 serial number 85 has reached
a key benchmark.

Yesterday, we turned it on for the first time.  Lights came on
on the front panel, but our focus was checking voltage levels
on all the supply busses.  This machine has not seen power since
1980, and it was probably only under power occasionally after
1975.

The log entry for the momentous day is here:

(note also that the scattered parts of the console Teletype are
rapidly being reunited.)
